Go you guys! Nice work on that...but could you guys sign your name? I mean, I was just confused, I thought that the two comments by the same person...I am the guy who adopted this wiki! Yay! Okay, now, do we need to add information on the move of Riku's, 'session'?

Wow, this page needs a lot of work.  I did a quick cleanup of the Kingdom Hearts bio section, but I feel that my writing was hampered by the trash that was already there.  It seemed that when whoever was writing this article forgot what actually happened in the game they made something up.  I'll do another cleanup of that section during the week.  I plan to cleanup the Kingdom Hearts II section. but I have no idea what happened with Riku in Chain Of Memories, so someone else would have to do that.  I'm '''very''' tempted to replay the first game (which I haven't done since I started Kingdom Hearts II last year, and the gameplay is really bad compared to the sequel) just so that I can rewrite that first section!  In fact, I'm going to go hook up my Playstation 2 right after this edit has been saved.  I'd like to complety rewrite this article, but again lack of knowlege of the GBA game and a fuzzy memory prevent me.  I'll get back to this page in a few days after I've played most of Kingdom Hearts over again (yes, I have time to do that, I have no  real life) and after I do a cleanup of the Donald Duck page.  --  [[User:DrakemasterDrake|Drake]]

==Related to Master Xehanort?==
There's a cutscene in BBS that shows Master Xehanort when hes was young. He had long, white, spikey-tipped hair. It was revealed that MX's home world was Destiny Islands.
The only other person in the KH universe that has white hair and comes from Destiny Islands is Riku. Both of them are connected to the darkness, and both are able to wield their own keyblade. Anybody besides me see room for a Skywalker moment? (No Riku, I am your father... something along those lines.)

Umm, perhaps not "I am your father"(look at Master Xehanort, he looks like he's in his sixties-seventies), but maybe the two do have some relation. --[[Special:Contributions/84.249.211.221|84.249.211.221]] 18:46, October 9, 2010 (UTC)

Well, I didn't necessarily mean that he was Riku's father, just that they might be related. Glad to see that I'm not the only one considering this as a possibility. [[Special:Contributions/97.90.18.64|97.90.18.64]] 20:37, November 28, 2010 (UTC) EmptySentiment

Yes, Riku maybe care for Xion, but Xion is Roxas puppet (or clone) and Roxas is Sora nobody and Riku can't be gay for Sora if Sora love Kairi?--[[User:Hotdragon 295|Hotdragon 295]] 01:30, July 2, 2010 (UTC)
I really like Riku and Xion together, especially during that scene between them on Destiny Islands. First off, while Xion was having ther nightmare, Riku gently pushed her hair aside, and that can't be a mere friendly gesture; it is mostly seen as a romantic one. Besides Sora has Kairi, and there is Roxas and Namine, so it only makes sense that Riku and Xion would be together like the rest of them. [[User:FFfangirl]] 9:50 a.m., January 4, 2011

Nomura hasn't made anything canon, and if not that, maybe it'd be better to leave out romantic implications in general or do what other wikis do and make specific sections for fandom stuff like that. Either way, one pairing isn't worth noting over another. [[Special:Contributions/174.21.209.158|174.21.209.158]] 00:29, October 18, 2009 (UTC)

This bothers me, too. The Sora and Kairi pages list implications, so why not the Riku page as well? It's not as if it's hurting anyone by acknowledging something within canon. [[Special:Contributions/174.31.193.88|174.31.193.88]] 18:36, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
::Because Riku simply doesn't depict the same kind of romantic feelings Sora does; the closest he does is the Paopu thing, which he explicitly says is taunting Sora. He protects Kairi when he believes that Sora is ignoring them, but he very, very much does not have the same devotion that Sora did. The page as it already is accurately represents what's there.[[Special:Contributions/98.223.96.49|98.223.96.49]] 01:34, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
:::Doesn't he though? Because I think allowing his heart to become home to the darkness and following Maleficent around when he obviously doesn't trust her, all in order to protect and save Kairi, is quite the devotion. I'm pretty sure Riku states that she's what is most important to him at some point as well.
Granted, I don't think that we need to state this in the article, but I think that Riku saying "It was just a joke" isn't reason enough to think it actually WAS a joke, since 15 year old boys rarely admit their feelings; in fact, they almost always pretend they were joking. {{User:LightRoxas/Sig}} 13:40, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
:no, he doesn't. He was already willing to accept darkness just to get off the island, that's a ''huge'' plot point. Him guarding kairi only came after he thought sora had forsaken them, and none of the followup games mention any intent towards kairi. As for the paopu...kairi wasn't even there at the time, and riku is basically the opposite of shy in kh1. Furthermore, there's a good bit to be said about that scene, and his relationship with sora in general, pointing towards focusing on sora more. We mention the connection on the replica page because namine explicitly copied soras relationship with kairi onto the replica's memories, with herself in kairi's place.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 22:04, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

I'm going to get utterly destroyed by you guys, partially because of my zero edits, but:
The reason Sora's nobody, Roxas, looks like Ven is that Sora's and Ventus's hearts are connected (and/or they share a heart, but I'm wrong about that.)
Also, unless Riku's nobody is inducted into the organization, the theoretical nobody would not have an 'X' in his name, and even then, it is possible that the nobody will be anagrammed.
Lastly, (probably wrong about this/speculation,) I think I read something about Square stating that KH3 will take place right after 3D, and that it will involve Riku training Kairi to wield the keyblade.
Again, all of these things I said are probably wrong. [[User:Soandso2|Soandso2]] ([[User talk:Soandso2|talk]]) 01:16, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

Okay, so there's a sentence in the "Story" part of this article that goes,
"Riku is known to irritate Sora by being a bit of a sore loser and (in the original Kingdom Hearts manga, Volume 1) very pushy involving his fight over Kairi, shown when he tells Sora that, if the latter does not share a paopu fruit with Kairi soon, he will."
Now, I think most of us know that the manga adaptation is ''not'' a canon source for information. However, when I tried to fix this, stating my reason for the edit, it was reverted. I should like to know why this is. [[Special:Contributions/74.100.59.44|74.100.59.44]] 02:52, June 15, 2010 (UTC)
::The manga is not fully canon with the games, but it is an official material, and is licensed. Elements of the CoM manga were even incorporated into Re:CoM.

Ah, I understand. Thank you for explaining.
== The survival bit ==
If anyone's been in the least bit observant, you would have noticed that in Kingdom Hearts II, Riku is the only party member that appears to be immune to being KOed. Like Sora, when near death, their portrait flashes red, but when completely depleted of health, it turns a deep red. If anyone's taken the time to notice during battle, Riku's portrait never goes into this state. He just keeps on going even after taking a powerful hit at critical health. I can post a few vids showcasing this phenomena, but it would be more convincing for you to just play the game and see for yourself [[User:Kaihedgie|Kaihedgie]] 20:07, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

In the article, it mentions that Riku is able to summon two keyblades at once, and he, Sora, and Roxas are the only ones able to do so. But in Birth by Sleep, Aqua picks up Eraqus' keyblade and continues to use it, even after she gets rid of her own. And unlike Sora and Roxas, Riku and Aqua are never actually seen dual-wielding, instead summoning either one keyblade or the other.

Remember when Riku gave Kairi the Destiny's Embrace Keyblade? he was holding the Way to Dawn on his other hand. And Aqua doesn't dual-wield, she has the ability to use the Keyblade and she just took Master Eraqus's Keyblade, similar on how Riku took Sora's in KHI. {{User:17master/Sign}}
I just watched the scene again, and you're wrong, Riku doesn't even summon Way to the Dawn until AFTER he's already given her the Destiny's Embrace, he is never seen holding the two Keyblades at once, unlike Sora and Roxas, but just like Aqua.[[Special:Contributions/174.106.194.200|174.106.194.200]] 13:42, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
:Nomura's Director's Secret Report XIII specifically says that he handed his own Keyblade to Kairi, and since you can't have the same Keyblade in more than one place at once (per version of yourself), he has two Keyblades.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 14:01, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
I just got back from the Director's Secret Report page, and he says no such thing.[[Special:Contributions/174.106.194.200|174.106.194.200]] 00:30, December 11, 2010 (UTC)
:"However there is no particular explanation for the Soul Eater's transfer and occurrence, as well as Riku's handing it to Kairi."
::He says that Riku is handing the Soul Eater/Keyblade to Kairi.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 02:02, December 11, 2010 (UTC)
That is not what he is saying at all.[[Special:Contributions/70.63.202.107|70.63.202.107]] 15:08, December 11, 2010 (UTC)
If he's not saying that he's handing Soul Eater to Kairi, what is he saying? {{User:Chitalian8/Sig}} 15:19, December 11, 2010 (UTC)
{{KyrianXVII|time= |ven= Maybe it's just me...but if anyone watches when Kairi and Riku are fighting the Heartless after he gives Kairi a Keyblade, Riku has nothing in hand. Not a weapon at all. He spins around during the fight...so I don't think he can dual-wield or use Synch Blade...}}
{{maggosh|nathan=Nothing? Yeah, the Way to the Dawn is nothing. Absolutely nothing.}}
== Some Mistakes? ==
Ok. I've spotted a couple of possible speculation in this article. First, "When the Heartless came, he led them to the Keyhole of Destiny Islands in exchange for a trip to another world." Ok, NOWHERE was this said in the games. In ''CoM'', Zexion says that Riku himself opened the Keyhole. I am almost 100% sure this is speculation. Besides, last time I checked, Riku can't talk to Heartless.
Second, "As a defeated Xion lies on the ground, Riku pulls off her hood and pulls up his blindfold to get a good look at her. When he sees her as Sora, he is shocked and begins questioning her how she is able to use the Keyblade, calling it a sham and worthless." I don't recall there being any proof that he saw her as Sora. He is shocked when he sees Xion, but perhaps he was only surprised that she bears a major resemblence to Kairi.
I'm going to edit these now. If anyone thinks differently, just say so. {{User:CaelumLucisCaliga/Sig}} 19:36, December 30, 2010 (UTC)
Sounds good to me. But if you're changing that part about Xion, don't include anything about Kairi (since that's speculation as well). {{User:Soxra/Sig|t=7:38pm, December 30, 2010 (UTC)}}

{{Xabryn|text=As it can be seen in [http://images.khinsider.com/3D%20Screenshots/Riku%20Gameplay%201.jpg here] in Riku's new outfit there will be another symbol similar but not completly like the Dream Eater's symbols, do we have anything saying what it is?}}
{{Chitalian8|time=23:05, 22 September 2011 (UTC)|neku= Judging by the words LINK over the Komori Bat's name, I'm gonna assume Riku's in link with the Bat, which would seem puts that symbol on Riku's back.}}
{{Xabryn|time=23:12, 22 September 2011 (UTC)|text=It also appears in one of the trailer cutscene's when we get to see his back and also the LINK word appears there whenever that pink gauge is full}}
{{Chitalian8|time=23:21, 22 September 2011 (UTC)|neku= Yeah, looks like that symbol's always there. Weird, I don't see one on Sora, though.}}
Not surprising, if it's related to how they link to the Dream Eaters. Supposedly when Riku links with them, they provide certain effects, but Sora just rides on their backs, or something.  --{{User:Neumannz/SigTemplate}} 23:37, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
== Again? ==
We all remember The Riku Replica right? It was intresting to see 2 rikus on the screen at the same time. I never thought i would see that again after the replicas untimely dimise. But.. The new trailer shows riku talking to a hooded figure in monstro. And when the figure takes off his hood its... Riku! Again Riku faces himself. Why?
It could be because this is an incarnation of Xehanort while he possessed Riku's body. --[[User:Littleman|Littleman]] 19:19, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

== Separate page for Ansem-Riku? ==
If [[Riku-Ansem]] has his own page, then does anyone think that Riku possessed by Ansem should also be on his own page (possibly labeled "Ansem-Riku")?--[[Special:Contributions/70.49.169.173|70.49.169.173]] 03:03, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
:That's just Ansem SoD, before he changes his looks.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 05:00, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
::But some things still seem indistinct - for example, "Ansem-Riku"'s quotes are on Ansem's page, but his boss/gameplay page is part of Riku's.--[[Special:Contributions/70.49.169.173|70.49.169.173]] 16:36, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
:::While I can see how that might be confusing, think of it this way - the body is still Riku, so you are technically fighting Riku and his abilities/skills. But all of the actions are being controlled by Ansem, including his speaking, so the quotes belong to Ansem - Riku had no say in it. {{User:LightRoxas/Sig}} 18:32, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
::::If his boss battle is considered a form of Riku (as it is per multiple official sources), then the Quotes should be on the Riku quotes page, too.

==Dream Eater Riku==
I just got to the World that Never Was in KH Days, and after the fight with the Anti Black Coat Nightmare, Ansem tells Riku that he has become a Dream Eater Spirit, designed to battle soras nightmares, and that during the process of the game hes been in soras dreams the entire time. and that's why Riku has the spirit dream eater symbol on his back. Should we make a separate article for Riku's appearance in KH3D?<br>[[User:Ixbran|Ixbran]] ([[User talk:Ixbran|talk]]) 01:49, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
:No, for the same reason we don't have separate articles for Roxas during his time in Organization XIII and after: it's still the same guy. - {{User:EternalNothingnessXIII/Sig}} 01:52, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
::Ahhh, okiday then, i was just wondering. Should we put the dream eater tag on Rikus character page then?<br>[[User:Ixbran|Ixbran]] ([[User talk:Ixbran|talk]]) 02:13, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
:::Again, no. He's not a Dream Eater in the sense that Meow Wow is. He unknowingly dove into Sora's dreams and started to carry out the function of a Spirit by vanquishing Sora's nightmares. He's not an actual Dream Eater. He just fulfills the same purpose. - {{User:EternalNothingnessXIII/Sig}} 02:16, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
==Missing Section==
2 Questions. 1) What happened to the section that describes Riku's physical appearance? 2) Is the section about FFXIII-2 really necessary? [[User:Blackchaos27|Blackchaos27]] ([[User talk:Blackchaos27|talk]]) 03:32, 28 October 2012 (UTC)
:1) It's under [[Form:Riku]]. 2) I think it is needed as it involves Riku, though the scene is from a different game. {{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 19:10, 28 October 2012 (UTC)
::1) Not much info on it right now. 2) I don't think it really "involves" Riku as he doesn't appear in it himself. I see it more like a reference than anything else. It looks more like it belongs in the Trivia section to me. [[User:Blackchaos27|Blackchaos27]] ([[User talk:Blackchaos27|talk]]) 07:56, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
:::Nothing belongs in Trivia, ever. Trivia is where people put things that they were not conscientious enough to add to the article properly.

:::People do not like it, and it's not illustrative of Riku's personality in any useful way. The current quote illustrates Riku's personality quite succinctly: he wants to explore, and he won't let fear of darkness or the unknown stop him. The quote you put just...sounds like a paladin mantra, and that's not what Riku ''ever'' is.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 05:58, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
First Riku curiosity is mostly gone and he became wiser and stronger then he was in Kingdom Hearts when he first said those words.

Also I don't know what a paladin mantra is and I don't really care.--[[User:SSS|SSS]] ([[User talk:SSS|talk]]) 13:43, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

== Two Things ==
1. Why is Riku put in the Kingdom Hearts III category and not the HD 2 category, if someone can provide a legit reason I'd love to hear til then I've marked it for HD 2 as well.
2. Why are we still using the render from II for Riku? Sora still uses the same model from II for his appearance in 3D but Riku got a somewhat new render now having short hair once again, could someone give me another legit reason for this too please (other than his long hair being more bad ass). {{User:SoRiKa/Sig}} 02:52, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
:1. Because we have confirmation for him appearing through a press release.
2. Because we don't have a render for his new appearance. [[User:Maggosh|mag]][[User talk:Maggosh|gosh]] 03:15, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
I think SoRiKa's first argument was less "Why'd we put him under KH3?" and more "Why <i>isn't</i> he under KHHD2.5?", for which I don't think there is a truly legitimate reason not to do so. {{KeybladeSpyMaster/Sig}}07:12, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
:A press release is more reliable than a trailer, based on our policy. {{User:Erry/Sig}} 22:46, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
==Abilities==
Is the ability section really necessary for each game? {{User: Master Riku the Bloody/Sig1}} 11:50, 15 August 2014 (UTC)
:Given that he is an ally/boss with different abilities in different games, yes. That is the standard with ability sections; check out [[Aladdin]]. However, listing all the sleights for CoM is excessive so the tables should be removed and replaced with a summary. {{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 21:50, 15 August 2014 (UTC)
==Reguarding Roxas attacking Riku with a Strike Raid...==
So I read this on the page:
'''Sure enough, Riku runs into Roxas at Memory's Skyscraper as the latter begins a rampage to free Kingdom Hearts. ''After fending off several Neoshadows, Roxas spots Riku and attacks, but a failed Strike Raid puts his Oblivion in Riku's hands.'' Riku and Roxas are both jolted by the fading memories it communicates of a now-erased Xion, and bemusedly finish off the remaining Neoshadows before turning on each other.'''
Now it could be that I viewed the scene wrong,
but to me it seemed more like Roxas was throwing the Oblivion to him, as Riku didn't really react to it as an attack.
Not to mention the keyblade was thrown at an angle where Riku would have to jump down get hit by it, not very ideal for an attack.(not the most valid point I know. XD)
I guess that would bring up the question Why would Roxas throw his keyblade to a stranger,
other than to give him a weapon to help fight the heartless... I am not really sure.
Can someone clarify this to me? (Unsigned comment by [[User:23.255.236.35]])
:[http://kh13.com/videos/days/eng-cut/24-roxas-and-riku/ Anyone care to confirm?] I think he meant to give him the keyblade for a fair duel, but considering Roxas's personaility, he probably wouldn't. Some articles have hidden stuff that is incorrect. We're always updating! Thanks for your comment. {{User:ANX219/Sig}} 22:12, 15 August 2014 (UTC)
I heard it was done because they had to match the secret ending in the first game. {{User:Master Riku the Bloody/Sig1}}
== Riku's Appearance in Dream Drop Distance ==
I've noticed Riku's hair is much shorter in Dream Drop Distance as compared to ''Kingdom Hearts II''. I don't mean while he's in the Sleeping Realm. If you look in the cutscenes while they're at the Mysterious Tower, you can see that his hair only goes up to his shoulders, when in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', it was going past that. Is there any way we could get a render of that? {{KeybladeSpyMaster/Sig}} 03:27, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
I don't know how to get renders, but in the journals, you cam go in the character section. There, you can view the appeatance of each character, and use the X the change the model. {{User:Master Riku the Bloody/Sig1}} 11:38, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

==Riku & Two Keyblades==
In the ability section, it says, '' 'Also, Riku is one of the three only characters shown being able to summon more than one Keyblade at once, the other two being Roxas and Sora.'' ' Is this a reference to him using Sora's Keyblade during the Master Hearts part of their Limit in KH2? Because I don't think that counts as summoning one, just wielding/borrowing it. --[[File:Riku Sprite KHD.png]] [[User:Mikoto|mikoto]] 04:21, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
:I think it refers to when he gives the Destiny's Embrace to Kairi in KH2. Though it's not clear how he got that one, so that line is a bit speculative. {{User:TheSilentHero/Sig}} 17:47, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
== Is the void riku woke up in in KH:COM really the realm of darkness?  ==
so i watched the first cutscene for rikus story in KH:COM while reading this wiki and noticed that it’s being said the void he woke up in is the realm of darkness, however in the cutscene that’s being described the voice describes this void place as being “between light and dark”? and i know that after that the voice also says “here, blanketed by the darkness” but just considering the fact that its a grey void i find it kinda hard to believe it’s the realm of darkness unless it’s been actually stated as such somewhere and i’ve just completely forgotten or don’t know it. —[[User:RahonTheDreameater|RahonTheDreameater]] ([[User talk:RahonTheDreameater|talk]]) 16:49, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
:The best I can find is this, from Secret Ansem Report 12:
It seems my friend, fighting in the realm of darkness, appeared in Castle Oblivion through a corridor of darkness constructed by Organization XIII.
My new ally Riku also effected his return via one of these corridors.
:However, that's not really clear on if the void was still the realm of darkness, or part of Castle Oblivion. {{User:TheSilentHero/Sig}} 17:42, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
